Looking at it objectively I expect Obama to win easily.<br /><br />There is no joy in that for me but I predicted before the last election that regardless of who won it would take at a minimum a few more elections before we got anything decent in D.C.<br /><br />Given the breakdown on who is vulnerable its possible the GOP could take a small majority in the Senate. However, it's jut as possible they will lose the House.<br /><br />Currently, The GOP is making the exact same mistakes as the Dems did after they won in '08. I don't know much about many of the GOP presidential hopefuls but there is certainly none that are standing out right now. We still have the same GOP leadership complicated by the fact that they can't control their own caucus.<br /><br />Politicians, they just don't get it.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-12491218761136796082011-03-14T11:57:45.269-04:002011-03-14T11:57:45.269-04:00The last guy I voted for, that won, and that I act...The last guy I voted for, that won, and that I actually liked was Bush senior.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62755846234238909122011-03-14T11:46:25.296-04:002011-03-14T11:46:25.296-04:00My vote for McCain was not a vote FOR McCain but a...My vote for McCain was not a vote FOR McCain but a vote AGAINST Obama.

Subotai's link above...<br /><br />Now, where does that leave us?<br /><br />The plant is safe now and will stay safe.<br /><br />Japan is looking at an INES Level 4 Accident: Nuclear accident with local consequences. That is bad for the company that owns the plant, but not for anyone else.<br /><br />Some radiation was released when the pressure vessel was vented. All radioactive isotopes from the activated steam have gone (decayed). A very small amount of Cesium was released, as well as Iodine. If you were sitting on top of the plants’ chimney when they were venting, you should probably give up smoking to return to your former life expectancy.<br /><br />The Cesium and Iodine isotopes were carried out to the sea and will never be seen again.<br /><br />There was some limited damage to the first containment. That means that some amounts of radioactive Cesium and Iodine will also be released into the cooling water, but no Uranium or other nasty stuff (the Uranium oxide does not “dissolve” in the water).<br /><br />There are facilities for treating the cooling water inside the third containment. The radioactive Cesium and Iodine will be removed there and eventually stored as radioactive waste in terminal storage.<br /><br />The seawater used as cooling water will be activated to some degree...<br /><br />---<br /><br />I believe the most significant problem will be a prolonged power shortage. About half of Japan’s nuclear reactors will probably have to be inspected, reducing the nation’s power generating capacity by 15%. This will probably be covered by running gas power plants that are usually only used for peak loads to cover some of the base load as well. That will increase your electricity bill, as well as lead to potential power shortages during peak demand, in Japan.<br /><br />If you want to stay informed, please forget the usual media outlets and consult the following websites:<br /><br />http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS_Battle_to_stabilise_earthquake_reactors_1203111.html<br /><br />http://bravenewclimate.com/2011/03/12/japan-nuclear-earthquake/<br /><br />http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2011/03/11/media-updates-on-nuclear-power-stations-in-japan/Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-90141050382755840592011-03-13T18:59:36.231-04:002011-03-13T18:59:36.231-04:00.

(See LibertarianRepublican.net, "Italian Island flooded with Algerian, Tunisians fleeing N. Africa") <br /><br />Additionally, Western European leaders like Nicolas Sarkozy in France, David Cameron in the UK, and Angela Merkel in Germany have instituted measures to curb rampant immigration and multiculteralism. This has resulted in a backlash among Muslim populations in Europe. <br /><br />Just last week in Spain, a crazed Morroccan Muslim stabbed 12 people attacking staff and patients in a waiting room at a hospital in Madrid. (Source: BNI).<br /><br />And in France, nightly riots by mostly Algerian Muslims in Paris have spread from the Islamic enclaves surrounding the city, to downtown. (Photo of Algerian man beating up a French citizen in the tourist area of Paris near the Eiffel Tower.)<br /><br />In Marseilles hordes of Muslim Youth rampaged through neighborhoods, attacking local French citizens, and shops after a soccer match. (LR, March 4).<br /><br />The French news site La Provence reports:<br />Twenty-six assaults per day in Marseilles. Is there any need to comment on the figures when the figures speak for themselves? When the Superior Court reopened after the New Year, district attorney Jacques Dallest used the occasion to explain the figures in more detail. And this year, they are more painful than before. They paint the portrait of a city that is suffering from crime: a 19% increase in armed robberies over 2009. With, as the attorney said, "assaults" executed "only for lucre" rising at a frightening rate. Three hundred crimes, major and minor, take place each day within the precinct (Marseilles-Aubagne-La Ciotat) of the Superior Court. "Marseilles is a minefield of criminal infractions," attorney Dallest declared in summary.<br />And Muslim gangs are staging "pray-ins" blocking streets 5 times a day with the Muslim prayer to Allah throughout France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and even Bulgaria.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://punditpress.blogspot.com/2011/03/americans-blind-to-growing-muslim.html" rel="nofollow">Muslin<br />violence</a>What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-69773227995862854942011-03-13T15:20:27.198-04:002011-03-13T15:20:27.198-04:00Got to love a people that reproduce just to murder...Got to love a people that reproduce just to murder...<br /><br />Islam, the religion of peace, oh my bad, pieces..<br /><br />Here a leg, there an arm, here a head....<br /><br />Not to worry, all in the name of Jihad....<br /><br />How many murdered today? 30, 50, 100?<br /><br />No matter they will make more...<br /><br />Just like Fritos, betcha they can't murder just one..What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-8232132571207852522011-03-13T15:19:42.136-04:002011-03-13T15:19:42.136-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-47385138629984975072011-03-13T15:17:18.912-04:002011-03-13T15:17:18.912-04:00Stay out of it and hope for a slaughter...
